think you will find most if not all need the stem lengthening

avoid at all costs the generic 50 cc ones .. runner 50 /suzuki zillion(and variants.. think they are showa) as these are usually fooked and sliders will literally rock in the legs .. skipper /nrg /runner 125 better

Cheers for that mate, I`ll keep my eye out. It`ll probably be more hassle that its worth
I `m just a serial fettler :biggrin:

i used aprilia sr .. mainly because the legs are not so upright as others and looked better.. the draw back though is the yolk is too close with leggies ..and i did have to extend these

Cheers boys, there`s a couple of breakers by me , I`ll see what they`ve got .
I`lll measure a lammy pair up and go for the most similar length / rake etc. I expect the main tube is longer on a lammy than most autos.
